Narrative inquiry on the Subjectivity Change Process of Lifelong Learners in Psychoanalysis

초록

The interest in psychology in lifelong learning is increasing. So, how does psychology as lifelong learning actually affect lifelong learners? This paper analyzes the process of subjectivity change of a psychoanalysis lifelong learner as a method of narrative inquiry according to Lacan's subject theory that puts the purpose of psychology in subjectivity change. The participant is a English teacher who first encountered psychology in college and have been living as a psychology lifelong learner for more than 20 years. Through psychology learning, she was able to understand and accept her husband, who had a different personality from herself, to be able to care for her child's own career path, and to reconcile with her mother who had been fighting for her life. It is possible to form the self-subjective self, not the self as the approval and imitation of the other, and to move from the divided subject to the integrated subject. This study is meaningful in that it can show the effects of psychoanalysis as lifelong learning qualitatively and help design psychological lifelong learning.
